The Department of Sociology, Criminology, and Anthropology provides students with an understanding of society, culture, and social interaction across a wide range of topics that include social inequality, criminal justice, health, labor, immigration, education, and religion.

Through coursework and hands-on participation in scholarly research, our students develop the critical reasoning and theoretical, analytical, and communication skills needed to understand and address social problems and inequalities in global, institutional, and interpersonal social relations.

As members of disciplines that study what it means to be human from every angle, we are pleased to play an active role at Hofstra University not just in our major but also through our cross-cutting ties to other disciplines and campus-wide programs.
